Strengths

- “Leaders and staff certainly ensure that this positive ethos is felt throughout the school.”
- “Parents and carers and pupils are full of praise for the school.”
To improve
- “Partly due to the pandemic, this work is not yet complete across all areas of the curriculum, including in religious education.”
- “However, pupils have limited understanding of a range of faiths and cultures.”
- “Leaders have not ensured that staff regularly teach the religious education curriculum as intended.”
